About Dennis

Dennis Patrick Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and a range of intimacy and self-esteem concerns. His practice also addresses career transitions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance use concerns.

Dennis emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work and tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances and goals. He draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients build practical skills, clarify values, and strengthen relationships while processing difficult experiences. Dennis aims to empower people to take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, offering support as they navigate change and growth.

Because his private practice has expanded across Texas, his availability can be limited at times. Prospective clients are encouraged to reach out to learn about current openings and to explore whether his collaborative, client-focused style is the right fit for their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Dennis Patrick Smith

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT is often used for stress, anxiety, and life adjustment issues by teaching mindfulness and value-driven behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional life and can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair by exploring connection styles and healing relational wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and helps people develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger while building problem-solving skills.

Dennis approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. He works with each person to select or blend approaches based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and understanding evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow ongoing therapeutic work even when in-person visits are not practical. For many people, remote sessions support continuity of care and consistent progress toward their goals.
